We have a 1963 35x that is very far from pristine condition but seems to be very original. Even the electrics seem to be the originals. The dynamo has needed the brushes freeing up and the com polished up a few times (every 6 or 7 years I reckon) and the starter solenoid has needed cleaning up this year (how it had been working up to that point I don't know such was the mess inside) the contacts are about half way eroded so maybe only 30 years more service left in them. Now the starter is getting its full feed the starting is very prompt. Worth checking if the solenoid terminals are getting warm when cranking. Once sorted they stay stone cold.

Nice outfit 👌

Is it easy to get parts for the front axle if you needed them? Looking to buy a 188 4wd

Great instructions, exactly what I needed.

There we go dan, another video in the bag, done n dusted (😂)

Hi There Dan .I just come across a massey ferguson 35x that has been sitting outside for a few years . I was just wondering if the engine is seized and what's involved in involved in getting it unseized .Any advice would be much appreciated .

FORD IS GOLD 👍👌 SIMPLY THE BEST 👍👌💪

Nice tractor n cab

Enjoyed learning

Hope you get good weather for hay.

Grass looks well. I think the world and his wife are making hay a present, and good luck to them all.

It this a diesel or petrol modle

Good video Dan 👍 shame about the grass on the rented land 😕 Dribble bar certainly makes a tidy job of the slurry 👍 good luck with the hay making 👌

Great video Dan,looking for advice,since you are very knowledgeable on Massey Ferguson,have you had any jumpy clutch out of the 5712 or 7614,asking cause over here in the states the global series are popular cause of prices but I here of a jumpy clutch mainly the 4700 series,i here of a clutch calibration but some say it will go way but comes back on the jumpy clutch and other say bypass the global series and go with 5s,6s,or 7s , what do you think and just looking for advice before I drop a bunch of money,thanks again have a blessed evening

👍

Yeah your definitely ahead of me, I’ve still not started cutting hay yet 😬

Great video dan, decent hay weather at the moment.

Hope you get your hay in dry 😂

💪💪👍👍🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪

That plough looks well behind the 4wd 178! Have a 30 plough myself also had a 260. Check out my video of it ploughing! Also recently got new front disc for a Massey ferguson 28 disc harrow haven't got her out yet for a good workout 💪

Great video Dan, thank you! I only wish II followed your instructions. I have refurbished a 732 mower coupled with an MF135. It has a metal pitman arm thankfully. Having got all parts in working order. I moved up to the 10 acre field looking forward to some hay making. What I didn't resalise was that in all the bumping along the field, my knife blade dropped out as the pitman arm went to its lower position. Dropping the cutting arm bent the knife blade. It was a complete mess and I had to dismantle the thing in the field. I may have a missing pitman arm latch for transportation. However if I had followed your advice I would have been able to make hay! Such a stupid mistake :-(((. Now I always transport without the knife-bar in place. A good lesson learned the hard way!

Nice to be able to get the period correct plow. Now to go over and help another couple channels grow.

I was sure id seen that plough before Already watch Massey Man and of course Massey Dave

ive got a 1986 d reg 399 2wd red cab in the shed ,which still works and sounds awesome under full load ,i love the old massey ferguson equipment. thanks dan

A very nice addition Dan👍 can’t wait to see the pair turning a field over 😁. And look at your rubbing shoulders with all these YT stars! You’ll be on radio and tv soon!

looking forward to seeing the outfit in action.

They do look good together, a perfect match.

Farmer P's dexters are the star of his channel.

Great to see the plough on the 178👍

Thanks Dan 👍for the mention ,, appreciated , was great to catch up with you last Sunday , have to do some thing else vid with u again 👍👍

Good video Dan 👍 and a nice looking plough 👍 don't know if you had the lift right up but looked at turnover the middle board just cleared the ground 🤔

We had one behind our 185 , we also welded the legs to the frames as using it in flinty ground the holding bolts came loose & sheared , otherwise it was a good plough

Huard French make of plough ,used one for many years ,three furrow hydraulic turn over,ploughed well.

Great addition to your fleet Dan perfect match for the 178

💪💪👍👍🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪

Thank you Dan, much appreciated, always looking out for more MF kit 👍

Huard ploughs were taken over by Kuhn and relocated to a brand new factory at some point in the 1990’s. Kuhn/Huard actually have their own steel works and I visited the factory some 15 years ago and saw them using their massive presses or hammers to make the mouldboards and points. All wearing parts indeed. For parts I suggest you visit your nearest Kuhn dealer. To match your 1200, you really should get the then-innovative diamond plough.

Pre mowing grass that's been grazed 3-4 times early on in the season is a real game changer- I managed 280 cows with laid out paddocks, all about 2.5 acres and pre mowed paddocks for the cows, using a plate meter as guidance, like the rest of the grazing and the cows didn't leave anything at all, v v occasionally if one had got too far ahead of pre mowing, yea there'd be a few bits left. Used a front mower, set so it didn't scalp the grass but left enough for grass to regrow but also if there wasn't quite enough standing grass to mow, the cows still had something to munch on. It worked very well.

Nice 3 furrow plough on the 178 dan

Trying to steer according to the colour of those lights would drive me nuts. I'd leave it to your bruv, if I were you.

Didnty make the show, went to the coast instead, via the Sammy Miller Bike museum.

Hopefully you didn’t miss as much as I did with the guidance 😆🤦‍♂

too many ads

I'm not a farmer but enjoy your videos. Is it ok to let cows graze where you have just spread urea?

No need for L plates Dan.👍Nice vlog! Did it rain tomorrow?

I've decided to rewatch the 5711m video again after seeing early Flying Fergie man's video of their new demo of their 5711m, and I've completely forgotten that one had manual loader joy stick, should be interesting to see how he gets on with the electric one. 🤔 didn't manage to succeed in persuade them of changing the Bambi.. unfortunately.☹️👍

No pand k you'll regret that

💪💪🙏🙏👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪

Never too old to learn new skills 👌
